or small gates and where storage space is limited,<br />

should not be stacked more than three high, and then,<br />

only with heavy timber blocking placed between the<br />

gates to prevent damage to gates.<br />

To prevent bending when lifting, handling and storing,<br />

stems should be supported over their full length. They<br />

when lifted.<br />

Gates and Hoists stored at the construction site awaiting installation.<br />

should be stored carefully only on an even surface in<br />

a clean, dry area. The threaded portion of the stem is<br />

protected by a heavy fiber cover which should not be<br />

removed until the stem is ready for installation. Couplings<br />

and thrust nuts are shipped in place on the stems<br />

and should be removed prior to installation. Stop collars<br />

are normally shipped in a bag or box accompanying the<br />

floor stands. Operating mechanisms should be handled<br />

and treated as precision machinery and protected accordingly.<br />

Stems are supported evenly<br />

and kept off the ground.<br />
